Pneumatic fenders

Lightweight and easy to handle, pneumatic fenders float on the water so they are responsive and adaptable to the movements of ships and to tidal variations. For over 10 years, SINOMAR pneumatic fenders have had a proven record of outstanding performance.

They have been widely used for ship-to-ship berthing, mooring operations, and also for dockside and dolphin applications during loading and discharging of cargo.

Ship-friendly fenders

Our ship-friendly fenders:

Provide high energy absorption and low reaction force Possess a function for regulating the surface reaction force so as to suit allowable hull pressure Cause no locally concentrated load on the hull Conform to a wide range of tides simply by regulating the length of frontal panel Do not require a large space for installation Do not allow the hull to be polluted with the carbon contents of rubber

Pneumatic Fender

Many companies have been associated with us of all types of rubber fender, including pneumatic fender.These fender are manufactured as per ISO 17357:2002.

ISO 17357:2002 specifies the material, performance and dimensions of high-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders, which are intended to be used for the berthing and mooring of a ship to another ship or berthing structure. It also specifies the test and inspection procedures for high-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders.

ISO 17357:2002 does not address any safety hazards associated with its use. It is the user"s responsibility to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before using this standard.

When mooring under rough weather conditions, a ship is subjected to wave action, especially to swell,causing the ship to be moved up and down, back and forth and left to right at the quay. Pneumatic fenders allow gentle initial contact with a gradual increase of reaction force and large allowable deflection, meaning ships and mooring facilities are protected even under rough weather conditions. In light of these advantages, quite a few deep-water ports and large open-sea loading facilities employ these types of pneumatic fenders

The purpose of the fendering system is to serve as a bumper to protect the hull and berthing facility from damage when vessels berth alongside.Anther function is to operate as a shock absorber by absorbing the berthing energy of a vessel on the berthing impact to the berth and hull.Therefore the two main functions of the fendering system are:

1)To perform as a bumper to protect the hull and berthing facility from damage.

2)To perform as a shock absorber on the berthing operation.

The adoption of a suitable fendering system will help to ensure smooth berthing operation. Hence it is important to give priority to the selection of a fendering system that can actually reduce the whole berthing facility construction cost, instead of simply choosing low-cost fenders.Pneumatic floating fender is proud of high energy absorption with low reaction force, performance adjustable by varying initial pressure and low maintenance and its function suitable for areas with large or small tides.

 The simple way to launch ships today is by using Air bags. No need for anything but a slope with reasonably hard soil and reasonably clean. 

Marine airbags are unique Chinese marine products and often called ship launching airbags that indicate the most popular application of these heavy duty airbags is for ship launching. It is estimated that more than 80 percents new built ship whose DWT below 60,000 are launched by marine airbags in China.But marine airbags are found to be powerful and versatile tools for many other marine projects such as disembarking ships,heavy transportation, refloating salvage etc.

The history of marine air bag dates back to 1990s. A Chinese ship repair and building shipyard launched a 60 DWT tank barge with marine airbags on January 20, 1981 and it is known as the first use of marine airbags. The invention of marine airbags was expected to develop a flexible, less limited ship launching method.

Over the past twenty years, marine airbags have made great advancements in the manufacture and application. The first generation marine airbags employ rubber dipped canvases as reinforcement material and two cone-shaped ends are stuck to the chamber trunk. Now the top marine airbags are seamless and their performances are about 15 times of the first generation with the same specifications. Regarding the launching/landing technology, marine airbags have also achieved a significant leap. In the beginning, only small and flat bottom ships located on a fabricated slope could be launched with marine airbags. Now this technology is more flexible and less limited by the ship and landform. The DWT of launched ship reached 55,000 and launching ramp can be flat. Not only for ship launching marine airbags are widely used for heavy conveying also. Marine airbags contributed much to the success of famous Nanhai No.1 ancient ship salvage project. The 4,800 tons cassion which hold the invaluable ancient ship landed from the semi-submersible barge and transported to the museum named Crystal Palace riding on 16 pieces marine airbags.

The advantages of marine airbag ship launching can be concluded as: less landform limited, fewer fixtures needed,environment protective,multi-functional and cost-effective.

Marine airbags launching technology becomes into a flexible and effective solution for marine engineering projects nowadays. It is and will help people to do work easily in a simple way.For more details,please visit our website http://www.sinomar.cc/ship-airbags.html for more information.
